Toby Stephens going to be lost in space.

James Bond and Black Sails star Toby Stephens will be captaining a different kind of ship in his new series Lost in Space.

Based on the 1965 cult classic series, Lost in Space will follow the Robinson family, a family on a space colony in the future as they come together in a time of crisis when a spy smuggles himself onto their ship and throws them off course.

Stephens will be heading up the cast as Professor John Robinson, a role previously had by Guy Williams (Capt. Sinbad) in the 1960s and William Hurt in the 1998 remake.
